Sky Diving with a Wingsuit |

I have never gone sky diving before but it is on my things to list before kicking the bucket. The sky diving video below is in one word spectacular. These are not ordinary jumpers. They base jump with a wing suit and fly at 100 MPH along beautiful rock faces. Obviously, you have to be a certified skydiver to even consider base jumping but who can say they actually flew through the air without a plane. One wrong move and these guys are bug splatter on the rock face. Talk about trusting your equipment.
A handful of my friends went skyd iving about a year ago in Arizona and had a fantastic time. They both said the initial jump out of the plane is the scariest part. As another sky diving tip they said to try and get an instructor who is easy to talk to because there is a good few minutes after the shoot deploys, the buzzing of wind slows down and it is pretty quiet. At this point, some small talk is with the instructor attached to your back. You can see how quick it could get semi- awkward. If it were up to me, I would go solo after going through a class to figure everything out. Any way sky diving is cut though it looks life changing.
